Tesla continues to add code in preparation for 'Actually Smart Summon,' which is expected with FSD 12.5 or 12.6.

There are no functional changes yet, but @Tesla_App_iOS app, who decompiled the source code, found references to some interesting variables such as "mobile_app_feature_summon_webcam" and "slowing_for_poor_conditions," which could indicate that Tesla may allow you to view a live camera stream while using the upcoming vision-based Smart Summon.

In this update, we see some minor revisions to the Summon screen. The layout at the bottom is now a lighter gray and the vehicle's status is now centered on the display with additional padding.

With Tesla car update 2024.14 or higher, the app will now display the FSD version at the bottom of the app.

Tesla has slowly been adding more software version information to the app. It now displays:

V12 - The vehicle's software version, which is only incremented with large user interface changes. Think of this like Windows 11

2024.14.6 - The vehicle's specific update version

FSD 12.3.6 - FSD version number

Summon V2

The source code of this app update makes new references to Summon v2, according to X user Olympus, who decompiled the app.

According to Olympus, v2 stands for the second version of the Summon interface, meaning that we may see a completely new interface with Tesla's upcoming 'Actually Smart Summon' feature.

The app also references a variable called "supportSummonPreWarming," which sounds like an improved version of today's Summon Standby feature today that keeps the vehicle awake so that you can summon it later without waiting for the vehicle to wake up and initialize Summon.

FSD v12.4 is expected sometime next week, but the new Smart Summon feature which will be available to all vehicles isn't expected until v12.5 or v12.6 when Tesla starts tackling the ability to reverse.

Time Asleep

If you have a Tesla Wall Connector, you can now select which vehicles are allowed to charge at the charger directly in the app.

The default option is Any Electric Vehicle, but you can also limit it to Tesla vehicles or only specific vehicles.

If you choose specific vehicles then Tesla will display a list of vehicles already associated with your Tesla account that you can pick from, but you can also add additional vehicles via their VIN.

There is also a "Compatibility Mode" that increases compatibility with some non-Tesla vehicles.

To set up the new Access Controls go to the app's Energy screen where it shows your Wall Connector then tap on Settings. From Settings tap on Vehicle Charging then Access Control.
